I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Banfield Pet Hospital (Jacksonville, FL) in Mar 2014
Interview
I applied online and received an email from the Practice Manager asking for an interview. I called, but she was busy, so I replied via email and the appointment was set. The interview took place in the back of the hospital, giving me a good look of the surgery/dental area.
The manager and another CSC were present and asked questions from a list. I don't know if they were provided by Banfield or were just pulled from online. The questions were all pretty much customer service oriented. I was asked for lots of examples of times when something happened that was really good, bad, extraordinary. I was asked what my ideal schedule would be, to which I said 4 days a week at ~10 hours a day. Those were hours I was used to working. I was asked what kind of work load I am comfortable with. I actually prefer to be kept busy so I don't get sluggish or lazy, and so that is what I told them.
There were also questions about my history with animals and the medical field. I didn't have any pets at the time because I was just out of college and couldn't afford to support another living creature. My family fostered dogs and I grew up with cats and I had volunteered at the local Humane Society, so I had a lot of contact and experience with pets.

Interview
Easy interview with friendly staff! It took place in the break room with the hospital manager and a shift lead. It felt more like a conversation than a typical interview. The questions weren’t hard to answer and felt very relevant to the position.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Banfield Pet Hospital
Interview
First interview was with the practice manager and then with one of the doctors, the interview were straight forward. They want some sort of experience either related to working with animals or front desk/receptionist work experience. If you have neither they are willing to work with you so long as you have a cheerful demeanor and a "positive can-do" (which will fizzle away slowly with time trust me). The pay is not great, they will low ball you so be firm with what you want but also if you ask for too much they will pass. They have zero problem letting their current team suffer short-staffed indefinitely until they find someone they want for the role.
